Bioenergy Technologies Office

On June 23–24, 2015, the U.S. Department of Energy's Bioenergy Technologies Office will host its eighth annual conference—Bioenergy 2015: Opportunities in a Changing Energy Landscape. Participants, including key stakeholders from the bioenergy industry, Congress, national laboratories, academia, and the financial community, discuss critical bioenergy issues.

For the past seven years, All-American football player and Iowa farmer Bruce Nelson has been using corn stover—the non-edible corn stalks, husks, and leaves of a corn plant—to generate extra income at his family farm in Emmetsburg, Iowa.

The Coloring and Activity Book was developed by Bioenergy Technologies Office as part of its OPERATION BioenergizeME initiative. It is designed for children as a fun learning tool to inform them about bioenergy and raise their awareness of alternative fuel sources and renewable energy.

The Bioenergy KDF supports the development of a sustainable bioenergy industry by providing access to a variety of data sets, publications, and collaboration and mapping tools that support bioenergy research, analysis, and decision making.
